You can't insert PHP code in javascript code, PHP is a server language and Javascript is a client language

The solution to do what you want is using AJAX and call a PHP page which execute your action - you can send parameters (i.e. text)

with jQuery :

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: 'mypage.php',
    data: {text: text},
}).done(function () {
    /* success code here */
});

Your script PHP called :

$text = $_POST['text'];
$_SESSION['pin_number'] = $text;

You can't do that. Javascript lives on the browser, PHP lives on the server, when you see the page (so when JS is executed), PHP doesn't exist anymore.

You should change the logic of your code.
